Memorial University International Entrance Scholarship
Open
Overview
The Memorial University International Entrance Scholarships give international undergraduates up to CAD 6,000 for their first year at Memorial University of Newfoundland in Canada. You do not fill in a separate form, because the university considers you automatically when you apply for admission. A scholarship is not guaranteed and depends on available funding. For the full list of benefits, see what the scholarship covers.
What to know before applying
You must be eligible to pay the full international undergraduate fee and have scholarship standing comparable to Newfoundland and Labrador and Canadian applicants. In your first year you must register for at least 9 credit hours in each of two semesters. Transfer students are considered only if they transfer fewer than 31 credit hours. The awards last for the first year only and cannot be renewed.
The International Entrance Scholarship is worth up to CAD 6,000 and the IUGS Entrance Scholarship is CAD 6,000, and you cannot combine it with another significant general international entrance award. The same page lists country-specific awards, such as the Killam American Undergraduate Scholarship for U.S. citizens and a scholarship for students from Thailand, so check the official list of international entrance scholarships for the one that fits you. For other undergraduate options, see the Harvard Financial Aid and the Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship.
Timeline notes
There is no separate scholarship deadline. Your admission application sets the timing, so check the admission deadline for your intake on the Memorial University website. The application deadline section shows the scholarship as rolling for that reason.
